2 Kings 17:39 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:39

But the Lord your God ye shall fear
Or worship him, both internally and externally, according to his revealed will; for the fear of God includes both internal and external worship:

and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies;
that is, provided they feared and served him as he required, and it became them to do.

39 You must worship only the LORD your God. He is the one who will rescue you from all your enemies.”
